What does it mean to walk between worlds as both healer and student?
In this powerful episode of My Psychedelic Story, Pat Miller, a massage therapist and sound healer, shares her decades-long journey through shamanic apprenticeship, energetic medicine, and the sacred art of guiding others through transformation.
From her early experiences in Andean cosmology to her deep work with ayahuasca and non-medicine shamanic practice, Pat reflects on how true healing begins with self-awareness and the courage to face the unseen.
What You’ll Learn:
How the Andean medicine wheel can guide deep personal transformation and energetic release.
The difference between shamanic journeying, ayahuasca work, and the integrative healing process.
Why shadow work is central to emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being.
What it truly means to serve as a curandero, pampa masayoc, or medicine guide—and how humility shapes that role.
How energetic healing can complement and expand beyond the limits of modern psychology and medicine.
Episode Highlights:
00:00 – Pat’s journey into healing: massage, sound work, and the shamanic path
02:12 – Discovering the Andean cosmology and apprenticeship in the medicine wheel
04:10 – Lessons from serpent, jaguar, hummingbird, and condor, the energies of the four directions
06:18 – Integrating shamanic wisdom into everyday life and self-awareness
07:45 – Understanding shadow work, fear, and energetic transformation
09:00 – Becoming a guide: service, humility, and walking between worlds

Closing Insight
“Healing isn’t about fixing what’s broken, it’s about remembering what’s whole.”
Pat reminds us that medicine work isn’t about escaping the human experience but expanding our ability to hold it with compassion. The true healer, she says, is both student and guide, one who walks beside others, shining light into the places we’ve forgotten to look.
